Studiocanal Takes 'Worry Dolls' for U.K., Ireland

Studiocanal has picked up rights in the U.K. and Ireland for Worry Dolls, a supernatural horror thriller from director Padraig Reynolds (Rites of Spring).

The feature stars Christopher Wiehl, Kym Jackson and Samantha Smith in a crime-horror mash-up involving a detective (Wiehl) investigating a series of voodoo-related murders who finds himself racing against the clock to save his eight-year-old daughter.

Jinga is handling world sales for the title, which had its premiere at this year's U.K. FrightFest.

Jinga worked with Reynolds on his debut feature, Rites of Spring, which 101 Films distributed in the U.K..
